Grey Heron

Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea)

This heron spent a few minutes in front of the bog bean island and I rather liked the wing action I captured.

However, I'm not so pleased with the settings I used, in that I blew the whites on his face. Exposure Bias was set at 0 (think it should have been a minus.. yes?)

Post processing has rescued it a bit, so thought it was worth posting.

This is image is so good in so many respects, Delia, I would have passed over that small detail if you hadn't mentioned it. Wonderful work, my friend.

Great capture Delia, exposure looks good on the rest, sometimes the whites blow out in the sun, next time try going up -1 and see what you get. Tfs.
